Sabres sizing up Gerbe as big addition

‘“I’ve heard (about my size) my whole life,” Gerbe said during a press conference at HSBC Arena to announce his contract, which will pay him $850,000 annually if he sticks in Buffalo. “They tell me I’m not going to play juniors, and then I go out and make the team and play juniors. You tell me I’m not going to get a Division I scholarship and play in college. I showed many people wrong doing that. And they say you can’t win a national title, and I’ve done that so far.”’
